A former Obama speechwriter dressed up as Jared Kushner for Halloween
President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner caught a lot of (verbal) flak for wearing a flak jacket labeled "KUSHNER" on top of his sport coat and khakis while visiting Iraq back in April.
The look was characterized as what one wants to wear to communicate, "I'd like to make a war, but I'd also like a mint julep" — and now it has inspired former Obama administration speechwriter Jon Favreau's Halloween costume:
Favreau is pictured in his tweet with his wife, Emily, who is dressed as Kushner's wife, Ivanka Trump. To replicate the Kushner look for your last-minute costume needs, Elite Daily has provided a step-by-step guide for the perfect ensemble.
